In Canada’s first and only Management Engineering program, students will learn to analyze how organizations operate and apply engineering skills to increase their efficiency.

Over the course of their degree, students will develop expertise in data analytics, information systems, operations and supply chain management, and organizational behaviour. Students will also have the opportunity to gain paid work experience through co-op.

By graduation, students will have the know-how to design and manage complex systems, optimizing the flow of energy, materials, people, and information. And students will find no shortage of companies looking for their skills: in software, finance, supply chain management, health care, manufacturing, and more.

Students will use engineering concepts to optimize everything from courier routes, hospital wait times, businesses, and even finance practices.

Many of the University of Waterloo’s students and graduates go on to create software programs and apps to help with simple day-to-day tasks, or more complex software algorithms to be used in some of the world’s largest corporations and institutions.
